Songs That Mention Hats

[Bamaboots]

Stone Fox Dan was a Romeo man
Made a livin’ sellin’ marijuana
He went around turnin’ all the good lookin’ women on
He wore a feather in his hat and drove a big black Caddy
He was always lookin’ for a party
He played Big Daddy to the women when the men wasn’t home

TURN IT UP!

I love Paul Thorn!
Not hat related but a funny song.

I love Paul Thorn!
Not hat related but a funny song.

I love that song, Rusty. It speaks to the truth that most damned fireworks stands in N AL are owned and operated by a church.

New Cut Road , written by the late Guy Clark and preformed by Bobby Bare.

Now Coalman's daddy said, "What's it all comin' to?
Young people these days are just stubborn as mules"
He can't make 'em go, he's too old for that
It's that damned ol' fiddle and that bowler hat

The Last Cowboy
Song by Jamey Johnson

"An old pickup truck
Means you're down on your luck, anymore
And boots and straw hats
Are just a thing of the past, anymore
And ever since Waylon I can't find no one
To buy into sad country songs
Now tell me who's gonna ride us away
When the last cowboy's gone?"

Another one by Bobby Bare.

Appaloosa Rider

........
Then yonder come a man in a big ol' car
With a black beret and a big cigar
He said, "Son you're a natural cowboy star for sure"
He looked at me and he said, "Sign"
I looked at him and I said, "Fine"
I wrote my name on the dotted line and I became
The Appaloosa Rider
. . . . . . . .

A hundred fights I musta won
A thousand bullets in my gun
My hat stayed on through all the fun and glory
My real life pony had its hood adorned
With a big ol' set of western horns
While all America ate popcorn and marveled at the one and only
Appaloosa Rider
. . . . . . . .

So here I am in the Oklahoma sticks
And out of all my old sidekicks
Jack Daniels is the one who sticks around
But old friends and fans have begun to write
And I learned why the other night
When I woke up to a TV fight
The hero won and his hat stayed white
And guess who rode across my sight
I tell you I was dynamite!

 

[BobHufford]

"Well, the Honky Tonks in Texas
Were my natural second home
The way you tip your hat to the ladies
In the rose of San Antone."

 

[BobHufford]

“All my exes live in Texas
And Texas is a place I'd dearly love to be
But all my exes live in Texas
And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee”

 

[Bamaboots]

Riding on the range
I've got my hat- on
I've got my boots- dusty
I've got my saddle
On my horse
He's called (t-t-t-t-t-trigger)
Of course

 

[Hurricane Jack]

And start dancing around the bedroom
Moonlight through the window
Country on the radio
Silhouette, beautiful

Come a little closer
Give me some of that
Baby, you look so good
In nothing but my cowboy hat

 

[BobHufford]

I just stumbled across this one ...

"I was folding up your letters
Unpacking winter clothes
Searching for my hat
I thought I left it by the door
So I tore around the room
Like a bird without a head
I saw your picture waving back at me
From underneath the bed
From a long, long time ago

When all I had
Was a hat full of stars
The one I'll always treasure
The one that you wore
You loved the look
But you never looked inside
You would have seen us there
You could've seen far
You should've seen the magic
In my hat full of stars"

 

[DiamondJimLA]

I'm not sure hats are actually mentioned in this, but they gots some big hats, and if you don't get a bunch of laughs watching this, you gots sumtin wrong! (This has been watched 45 million times on youtube.)

 

[BobHufford]

My hat don't hang on the same nail too long
My ears can't stand to hear the same old song
An' I don't leave the highway long enough to bog down in the mud
'Cos I've got ramblin' fever in my blood

 

[RBH]

If I Can Find a Clean Shirt​

Wait a minute, Waylon,
I ain't said a thing about that.
Sometimes I just like to wear my spurs,
And my old Mexican hat.
But we sure had fun the last time,
That we were down there

 

[hatophile]

We just landed
We just touched down
It just hit home yeah that a good man's gone
Hey cat in the hat
We're all gonna miss you
And all of your practical jokes yeah
And taking three steps with you
We never say goodbye we always say so long
You had nine lives I can't believe their all gone
Mad hatters movin' on yeah he's moving on
Well I will see you again one way or another
And now that your there yeah say "Hello" to our brothers
We never say goodbye we always say so long
You had nine lives I can't believe their all gone
Mad hatters movin' on yeah he's moving on
The cat in the hat is gone
Travelin' man the spirits never gone
It lives on and on and on and on
Mad hatter

 

[M Hatman]

Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up, I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat.......

 

[Blare]

Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up, I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat.......

That one hiding out in plain sight

“One in the Saddle, One on the Ground” — Sturgill Simpson

Saw the ball had passed through
Clean as a church fold
And the wounds washed up by Sam, his old hound
So he saddled up Shamrock and powdered his rifle
And put on his old hat, worn, weathered and brown

Not sure if this one has been mentioned, but in memory of Jeff Beck….

 

[hatophile]

I dip my cup of soup back
From a gurglin' cracklin' Calderon in some train yard
My beard, a roughening' coal pile
And a dirty hat pulled low across my face, through cupped hands
'Round the tin can, I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
That you're waiting from the back roads by the rivers of my memories
Ever smilin', ever gentle on my mind
